Some tints are darker than others and provide more protection. The YouTube video "What it looks like to have 35%, 25%, and 20% car window tint" highlights the different tints. The biggest question to ask is whether these tints comply with city standards.


Are Dark Car Window Tints Legal?


Each state in the US has laws regarding the level of tint it permits on a vehicle. For example, a 35% tint is prohibited in some states, like California. However, states like Alaska, Connecticut, and Hawaii permit tints to be 35% and some higher. The tint may differ for the front, side, and rear windows. For example, a state may permit up to 40% tint on the front window and up to 70% on the side and rear windows. Similarly, a state may have a different requirement for each window on a vehicle. Before applying a tint to a vehicle, it's best to confirm what the tinting laws for a particular state are.
